i ran into a couple of snags with will's routine and was wondering if anyone could help me improve it. first i would like it to prompt the user for the attribute name so it would work universally instead of on a single block. secondly i would like to modify it so the user selects the attributes in the order they want and it numbers them all at once not with each pick. this last one is a request from my boss. any takers???
(defun c:attnumb (/ ref tobj tstr ttag sel)
;
(defun *get_atts* (obj)
(vlax-safearray->list
(vlax-variant-value
(vla-getattributes
(if (eq (type obj) 'ENAME)
(vlax-ename->vla-object obj)
obj
)
)
)
